Maurício José da Silveira Júnior (born 21 October 1988), known simply as Maurício, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. Currently a free agent, he most recently played for Portuguese Primeira Liga club Portimonense.

Club career

[edit]

Mauricio began his career with Brazilian side Fluminense in 2007 and made 52 appearances for the club with two goals scored.

On 2 February 2010, Maurício signed for Russian Premier League side Terek Grozny from Fluminense.[2] He scored 29 goals in 172 appearances for the club.

With Zenit in 2016

On 17 January 2016, Maurício moved to Zenit Saint Petersburg on a six-month contract, with the option of an extension at the end of it.[3] On 19 May 2016, Zenit extended Maurício's contract until the end of the 2018–19 season.[4] On 24 July 2017, he was released from his contract by mutual consent.[5]

PAOK

[edit]

On 31 August 2017, PAOK announced the signing of Mauricio on a three-year contract.[6] On 30 October, he scored both goals as PAOK won 2–0 at home to Asteras Tripoli in the Greek Super League.[7]

On 7 October 2018, he opened the score in a 2–0 home win game against Apollon Smyrnis. It was his first goal of the 2018–19 season and he was named MVP of the game.[8] On 3 February 2019, his goal in a 1–1 draw with AEK Athens helped PAOK remain unbeaten in the SuperLeague.[9]

On 10 March 2019, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury which kept him out until late September.[10][11] After a very difficult period for the midfielder marred by injury (203 days to be exact), Mauricio returned to action in an away game against AEK Athens on 29 September 2019.[12]

According to various reports, Spanish club Getafe and French side Marseille were linked with signing Mauricio with his contract set to expire in July 2020.[13]

Panathinaikos

On 11 October 2020, it was announced that Panathinaikos had signed Maurício on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[14][15]
